Dormant Sprays:   (1 Application, Jan. - March or Nov. - Dec.)

This dormant spray is applied only once during the year at a specific time and is regarded as the most important of the general spray

Foliar Insecticide Sprays:   (1-3 Applications, April - Sept.)

Fungicide Sprays:   (3-5 Applications, April - May)

A series of at least 3 sprays must be applied in early spring as a protective coating to control leaf fungus and rust disease of crabapple and hawthorn trees as well as the needlecast problems on pine and spruce trees. The number of sprays needed is influenced by the amount of rainfall there is during the spray period.

Holly Soil Drench:    (1 Application, April - May)

A systemic soil injection and spray application used to prevent Holly Leaf Minor damage.

Systemic Micro Injections:

Controlled applications of insecticides and fungicides directly into the trees to control and prevent various insect and disease problems, without the side effects of conventional sprays. Micro Injections can also be used to supplement essential nutrients that are needed to maintain optimum tree health.

Fertilization:

Healthy trees are more capable of preventing serious insect and disease problems. We strongly recommend this slow release liquid formulation which not only provides essential elements needed for your plants health, but also creates and conditions the soil. One application will benefit your plants for up to 2 years.

For trees under stress from construction, soil compaction, drought, etc., we have an organic root stimulant which can be mixed with the fertilizer to increase water and nutrient uptake.
